‘3 May. Bistritz. – Left Munich at 8.35 p.m. on 1st May, arriving at Vienna early next morning; should have arrived at 6.46, but the train was an hour late.’ So begins Bram Stoker’s Dracula, an epistolary novel that features Count Dracula, ‘a tall old man, clean shaven save for a long white moustache’. Stoker initially called the novel ‘The Dead Un-Dead’ and had Dracula as ‘Count Wampyr’. This Folio Society edition, illustrated by Abigail Rorer, is based on the first edition of 1897.
